amazing photos jtalyor, I guess that's one of the many experiences described on the forum that I'm glad I wasn't there for. I seen so many photos of front av before 1987, it looked so beautiful. Anyone know how long it's expected to take for the current trees to grow to the size the old ones used to be?

So I guess luckily no trees hit any members of staff's houses along the avenue then?

These trees aren't meant to get so big...

And if yellow fungus keeps afflicting them, there won't be many left soon...

It's incredible to think that there wasn't more damage to the boarding houses and us inside. Those trees were too close for comfort! However like Vonny I slept throught the whole thing, so I'd have never known if I'd been squashed by a lime tree.
